My Treatment

Our film starts with an establishing shot of Hardwick Hall, then cuts to Caitlin walking through park, and as she is getting closer to the camera, she is looking more and more shocked. She sees her ex-best friend, Courtney, and her ex-boyfriend, Carl, stood under a kissing gate, and Carl is proposing to Courtney...

There is then a flashback to the year before this incident, and the scene opens with the camera pannig across a bedroom floor with knickers and boxers on the floor. This moves onto a view of the bed which Courtney and Carl are lay asleep in. Then in the distance, you can hear a door being banged and Caitlin announcing that she has arrived home. Courtney and Carl both wake up sharply and Caitlin tells Carl that he must hid straight away; the wardrobe being the most obvious places. Caitlin then goes on to enter the room, and upon entrance finds the boxers laid out on the floor. With hesitation, Courtney informs Caitlin that she had had somebody stay over the night before after she had been out on the town. Caitlin jokingly says that she thinks she recognises the boxers from somewhere, and at this point, Carl falls out of the wardrobe. Both, Courtney and Carl look extremely shocked, and Caitlin shouts 'You...'

There is then a flashforwards, back to Hardwick and into the scene were it left off from, abd it continues with Caitlin shouting, '...Bitch!'. This then is forming a whole sentence of a series of two time frames.

The title sequence is then played over images of Caitlin crying and of her singing sad love songs in floods of tears. From this, various images are shown of her watching love films, crying and eating big tubs of ice cream to herself. This is helping to show the passage of time.

The next scene is of Caitlin lay on her sofa looking extremely depressed when there is knock at her front door, which she assumes must be her takeaway which she had ordered. However, it is not, and it is her other best friends, Matt, a brown-haired, muscular man, who declares that he come to cheer her up as he is sick of seeing her miserable. He walks into her house and take care of the situation; he puts dance music on playing extremely loudly and tells Caitlin to go and get dressed, whilst he cleans up her house. He then tells her to go and get dressed up nicely and do her hair and make-up as he is going to take her out to the pubs and clubs for a good time. They go to the pub in a taxi, Caitlin has too many drinks and gets on the stage and starts singing love songs on the karaoke machine.

At the pub, she meets an old work colleague, Kate, who organises weddings, gives them her mobile number and tells them to get in contact with her if they ever needed any work doing.

The film then cuts to the morning after, Caitlin is getting out of her bed with a bed hangover. She goes downstairs for a glass of water, and finds Matt in her kitchen making pancakes with chocolate sauce smiley faces on them and he has put a glass of fresh orange juice on her table and has put her toy dog next to it. She goes up behind him, and cuddles him thanking him for such a good night before and for bringing her home safely and also for the breakfast, but that she's afraid to say she couldn't really remember that must from the night before because she was so drunk and then he reminds her about her episode on the karoake machine, and they burst into fits of giggles. The phone is then heard ringing and Caitlin goes to answer it. She rush's back into the kitchen and tells Matt that it was Kate, who she had met the night before, asking her if she go in straight away because she seemed to have double-booked her day snd she urgently needed some flowers fetching and arranging for a wedding in two days time, that she didn't mind what type of flowers they were as long as they arrived at the church for ten thirty in the morning. She tells Matt that she has to go straight away and sort them out and she's sorry for just leaving him and thanks him again for the night before and asks him if he could shut the door behind him and post the front door keys back through the letterbox behind him. She leaves the house and rush to the local florist's and orders the flowers. She is now very excited by all the work she has been given and is enjoying the resposability it gives her. She decides that she will pick white and red roses for the wedding as she has always liked roses and she loves these two colours together; also, the wedding cake is red.

She goes home that afternoon to find a note on her table left by Matt, telling her to ,eet her in the local cinema's that night at about 8 o'clock. She arrives at the cinema's to find that he has managed to get a film to themselves and they start laughing and joking about what they could do together when there was nobody else there. They start running up and down the aisles and throwing popcorn at each other and jumping on the seats. After the film has finished, they go and buy an ice-cream and Matt gives her a lift home. He walks her up her drive to her front door and there is a tense silence as they debate how to leave each other; should they kiss and not! They just say good bye and hug and laugh nervously as if nothing has happened. Matt returns to his car and he drives away, Caitlin realises that she has feelings for him.

It's the next morning, and she starts to arrange the flowers in her front room, when there's a knock at her front door. Matt is stood at the front door messing around singing the songs that she had been singing when she had gone on the karoake machine a few nights ago. She stands at her door listening to him and when he finishes she bursts out laughing and lets him into her house. They mess around, arranging the flowers and then thing leads to another, and they start having a tickle fight and then they start kissing...
Slow love music is playing and she starts giggling. She then drags him upstairs and the scene fades out and then cuts back in to the morning after.

Caitlin is lay in bed with Matt next to her. She quietly gets up and gets dressed leaving her toy dog in her place. She also leaves a glass of orange juice on the bedside table with a note telling him that she has gone to the wedding to take the flowers.

She drives to the church and puts the flowers at the back of the church until she finds out where they need to go. She goes in search of Kate to find out where they need to go and finds her in the church foyer talking the groom. Caitlin waits to talk to Kate, only to realise that the groom is Carl, Caitlin's ex-boyfriend. She hides behind some flowers and then realises that it must be Carl and Courtney's wedding that she has been arranging the flowers for. Kate eventually leaves the conversation she and as Caitlin tries to move away to speak to her, she trips a stray cable on the floor and falls onto the floor in front of Carl. He starts laughing and gives her his hand to help her up, saying that she has not changed a bit since they went out! She starts to relax as they sit drinking a cup of tea; however he then takes this to far and tries to kiss her. As he does this, general flashbacks of their life together start flicking on the screen and as they get quicker, Caitlin is shown pushing Carl away.

As she is running away from him, she notices Courtney stood at the stood outside getting ready to come in to the church. Without a note of hesitation, Caitlin runs to her and tells her that she musn't marry him, it would be the biggest mistake she she would ever make. However, is Courtney is not willing to listen to what Caitlin has to say and tells her that if she doesn't leave she will ring the police. She attempts to push her away and as she does this Caitlin explains that she will prove he's not right for her as he will just keep cheating on her. They stop fighting and Caitlin says that if she will rings Carl, without him knowing that Courtney is there, will she listen to what he says to Caitlin. Courtney is unsure about what to do, but decided that she needs to know the truth so as she knows who to trust and so she agrees to the plan. They use the church phone to ring Carl, but upon picking up the phone, Carl can be heard talking to another girl who is whispering seductively to him down the phone. Courtney puts down the phone.

After a lot of debating with herself, Courtney tells Caitlin to go and tell all the wedding guests that the wedding is off and that she just can't do it. As Carl realises what is happening, he starts running down the aisle but is tripped up and falls into the cake face first. Caitlin then looks up to see who the foot had belonged to who had tripped Carl and Matt appears around the corner from behind some flowers. He explains that he has been hiding his real feelings from her for to long, and asks her to marry him. Without question, she says yes! This scene then fades out with them kissing...

It then cuts to the last scene which is set a year in the future. Caitlin and Matt are sat together laughing in an old country house, and a Courtney and her new husband Aaron come into the room announcing that dinner is ready.
